Checked out the new enhanced Visual Catalog yet? Several new and enhanced features make placing holds, renewing, and searching for items easier than ever before! The Visual Catalog’s new look includes an eye-catching, updated main Search page that automatically scales to fit any size monitor or tablet as well as larger, higher-contrasted fonts for easy readability. More space is now allocated to the “Results” list, making it easier to view catalog selections. The “My Account” area is improved, with bright cover art displays for Loans, Holds and Lists that are now sortable. The Visual Catalog also features a new easy-to-follow “Days Left” message instead of just a due date when viewing the list of items currently checked out. Enhancements to the “Search” features include on-screen hints for borrowers, the ability to sort lists by title, author and publication date, other features such as saved “Lists” and “Saved Search” display improvements.
